Wild Duck is a well presented, end-terrace cottage in the quiet village of Swarthmoor, located on the Furness peninsula. The open plan living space provides a comfortable and airy feel, with a large comfy sofa and armchair to relax in - the wood burner is the focal point and a warming welcome on those cooler evenings. A well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to start the day with a hearty breakfast or an evening meal, but with many excellent restaurants nearby you could be very easily tempted out for the evening. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms laid out over the first and second floor, with a good-sized family bathroom with bath and separate shower on the first floor. Young children have been well catered for, too, with a wicker crib, cot, toddler bed (as well as bedding for these) and a stairgate and highchair. Outside to the rear is a private and enclosed patio garden, a perfect place to have a drink and enjoy the sunsets on those long summer evenings with friends.

Walkers will enjoy the start of the Cumbria Way from here, a relatively low level walk that follows paths and tracks along valleys and breathtaking passes.

This is fantastic cottage to stay in.
This is fantastic cottage to stay in. Close enough to Ulverston, about a 20 min walk. Beach is 10 min drive. Nice walks for the dogs. There a very nice friendly local pub. They do a great Sunday roast. The cottage itself has everything you need, it is a home from home. Lovely outside space to sit out on a summer evening. If gets a bit cold there is a chimney and the hot tub is excellent. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
